DESCRIPTION

14       The "PPI::Token::Regexp" class is never instantiated, and simply pro‐
15       vides a common abstract base class for the three regular expression
16       classes. These being:
17
18       m// - PPI::Token::Regexp::Match
19       s/// - PPI::Token::Regexp::Substitute
20       tr/// - PPI::Token::Regexp::Transliterate
21
22       The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what each
23       class is. See their pages for more details.
24
25       To save some confusion, it's worth pointing out here that "qr//" is not
26       a regular expression (which PPI takes to mean something that will actu‐
27       ally examine or modify a string), but rather a quote-like operator that
28       acts as a constructor for compiled Regexp objects.
